Hungary is the EU’s version of Belarus. Orban is a poor man’s version of Lukashenko.

The EU isn't working because the EU doesn't enforce the budget and productivity goals it imposed on those countries that wanted to go on the Euro.

Most of the poorer countries in Europe would be better off going back to their old currencies. It would be painful, but they could devalue those currencies which would make life tougher for their citizens, but make exports more competitive and could lead to economic turnarounds.
